Clinic is with Certified Equine Therapist Jody Shultze (at her place) near Thorsby. We will use her horses for demos and exercises. Cost is 75$, max 15 registrants. Registration deadline is September 20.

The Board is coordinating this major promotional event differently this year by offering incentives for members who are going to ‘man’ the booth at the Mane Event in Red Deer. We hope to see you there!

Our guest speaker is Julianne Cumming. She will be sharing her experiences and pictures of droving cattle from low land pasture to the high country in Australia. "My family had done this for 3 generations to the Victorian Alps, or if you will, "Man From Snowy River Country". We had a 35,000 acre lease, built our hut above the snow line, and each year in early December we would gather the cows and calves at the front gate and then spend 5 days on horse back riding the stock trails and droving our cattle to the High Country." Julianne also owns Jac's Journeys through which she has organized agricultural, Reiki and specialized group tours.

Dress warm. We'll have a fire, cocoa and marshmellows. You are welcome to bring a snack to share. Please sign up at a meeting or let Lisa know by February 15, if you plan to attend so we know how many rides.

There will be lectures upstairs & hands-on scenarios outside or in arena. Max 50 participants, $100 for ATRA members, $120 for non-members. Registration deadline is January 18, 2018 (if clinic not full, registrations will be accepted after this date.)

Come out to participate in the future of our club. We will be showing a movie on the Panther Trail Development project from 2017, sharing some social time and registering for clinics. If you are interested in being a volunteer with a committee (Clinic, Special Trails, Casino) or on the board, new input is always wanted. Please let a board member know, and see you all on Jan. 18. There will also be a couple representatives coming to answer our questions about the Blackfoot.
